Only Heroes Live Forever Lyrics - Waterboys

Ruthy is an artist, she's got oceans in her head 

Doctor says you really shouldn't leave her alone 

She throws her books -- all scattered cross the room 

Graham Greene sprawled out beside the Rolling Stones 

Daddy doesn't understand but goes on paying the bills 

Mother clears up after baby girl's spills 

One break in communication and those clouds begin to fly 

While ruthy goes on bleeding when is she going to realize 

Only heroes live forever...

Tony is a dancer he's got to be one step ahead 

watch him show the new moves to the girls he meets 

He bumps for the crowd at his apartment window 

rolls his hands in perfect time with his feet 

Opens his shirt right to the waist 

throws on sun tan oil like wallpaper paste 

Carries a copy of "the carpetbaggers" he thinks that makes him cool 

looks you straight in the mouth as he tells you you're just another fool 

But only heroes live forever...

Me I'm an actor stickpaint on my face 

alibis in my pocket and costumes in my case 

I use emotions i make them my tools 

for i know well that rock'n'roll is in the hands of fools 

And only heroes live forever...
